Ezekiel 43:1

Afterward he brought me to the gate
The dimensions of this wonderful building being finished, the prophet's divine guide brought him from the wall about it, he had last measured, to the gate he first had him to, after he had observed to him the same wall, ( Ezekiel 40:5 Ezekiel 40:6 ) : even the gate that looketh toward the east;
or, as the Targum, which was open to the way of the east. The reason of his being brought hither follows.

Ezekiel 43:1 In-Context

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east:

2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel that was coming from the east; and his noise was like the noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

3 And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.

5 So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
